If you have a Date-Time field the function HPART should do everything you need.

field2/Ifmt = HPART(DTfield,'UNIT',format);

For Smart Dates (usage format MDY, DMY, YMD etc.) the DATEMOV function may be used to convert the date to the beginning of the week (BOW) or the end of the week (EOW):

SD_MDY2BOW/MDwY = DATEMOV(SD_MDY2,'BOW') ;

Above sample is derived from:
"(Almost) 1001 Ways to Work with Dates in WebFOCUS"
which is available from www.aviter.com

Hope this helps,
John Price
